The ABSOLUT FADER Visionary Podcast #6 — Exceptional
- story THE FADER
The sixth and final installment of the Visionary Podcast series, curated by The FADER and presented by ABSOLUT as part of our ongoing efforts to advance and advocate the art and music we love, is inspired by the word “exceptional,” which we hope you think this podcast series has been. We’ve got some of the Very Best, the totally Amazing, a Mega jam, an All-American and a claim of ultimate difficulty. Now that the six are done, download them all and listen in order for the full experience of our excellence or jumble them up to see if it makes any difference at all. It doesn’t really matter to us, as long as you enjoy the music. Thanks to all the artists and labels who helped us out along the way.

The ABSOLUT FADER Visionary Podcast #5 — Something
- story Peter Macia
The penultimate installment of the Visionary Podcast series, curated by The FADER and presented by ABSOLUT as part of our ongoing efforts to advance and advocate the art and music we love, is about “Something.” Yes, everything is about something, true, but if that something is nothing then what does anything really mean? Who knows!
Oddly, the most ambiguous of all the podcast inspirations was the easiest one to select. We took something from our girl Bethany Cosentino bka Best Coast, a few things from Sincerely Yours signee JJ, a little more something from Free Energy, everything from Tanlines, and finished it off with a horizon-gazing track from Nosaj Thing. Check the tracklist after the jump, and come back soon for the final Visionary podcast, inspired by all things “Exceptional.”

The ABSOLUT FADER Visionary Podcast #4 — Leads To
- story THE FADER
Turning the halfway corner in the Visionary Podcast series, curated by The FADER and presented by ABSOLUT as part of our ongoing efforts to advance and advocate the art and music we love, we come to the phrase, “Leads to.” These two open-ended words instantly made us think of some kind of narrative, so we tried to tell a little story through the song titles—a story that of course ends with us soaking up some sun.
After going fairly hard on #3, we mellowed this one out a little bit, traversing its length with the coastal vibes of Foreign Born, the slightly nautical Friend, a fluid jam from White Denim, Purple Wowness via a Joker and Ginz remix and the wobbly pop of our man Theophilus London. Check the tracklist after the jump, and come back soon for “Something” on podcast #5.

The ABSOLUT FADER Visionary Podcast #3 — Differently
- story THE FADER
The first and second installments of the Visionary Podcast series, curated by The FADER and presented by ABSOLUT as part of our ongoing efforts to advance and advocate the art and music we love, dealt with “Doing” and “Things.” So of course, as these words—Doing Things Differently Leads to Something Exceptional—would indicate, “Differently” is up next.
We took this one a little more literally, the accompanying visual interpretation by director Rupert Sanders of roped letters in a field leading us on a journey from bucolic London vamp rock to the synthetic tropics with a French by way of Argentina producer and on to frozen Finland for some ring modulation. Download Visionary Podcast #3 with music from King Charles, Douster and Shogun Kunitoki. Check the tracklist after the jump, and come back Tuesday to hear where it “Leads to.”

The ABSOLUT FADER Visionary Podcast #2 — Things
- story THE FADER
And now for part two of the Visionary Podcast series, curated by The FADER and presented by ABSOLUT, as part of our ongoing efforts to advance and advocate the art and music we love. With these words—Doing Things Differently Leads to Something Exceptional—and accompanying awesome visual interpretations of those words by director Rupert Sanders as inspiration, we set about scouring our music libraries for the new songs that are doing it for us the most these days.
This round is inspired by the word and image for “Things,” which is obviously quite broad, so we decided to make it as random as possible, with songs about computer files (we think), good days, real songs, funky mirrors and digital wildlife. Take these zeros and ones out into the real world and enjoy. Download the Visionary Podcast #2 with music from Get Back Guinozzi, Restless People, Konshens, Dam Funk and Zomby below, check the tracklist after the jump, and come back on Friday for #3, in tribute to the word, “differently.”

The ABSOLUT FADER Visionary Podcast #1 — Doing
- story THE FADER
Welcome to the first Visionary Podcast, curated by The FADER and presented by ABSOLUT, as part of our ongoing efforts to advance and advocate the art and music we love. With these words—Doing Things Differently Leads to Something Exceptional—and accompanying awesome visual interpretations of those words by director Rupert Sanders as inspiration, we set about scouring our music libraries for the new songs that are doing it for us the most these days. The first of these podcasts is loosely associated with the word and image for “Doing.” Doing anything basically, but as The FADER is known to do, we decided to make it mostly about having a good time—going surfing, hanging out with friends and romances, and of course, dancing your face off. Below, download the Visionary Podcast #1 with music from Smith Westerns, The Drums, Major Lazer, Washed Out and Hudson Mohawke. Check the tracklist after the jump, and come back in one week for #2, inspired by Things.
